Elite Ranks

Hello

I wonder if someone can advise me about the ranking system i am new to the game and have looked on forums and the internet to see how many kills you need to progress up the ranks and i keep getting conflicting answers on how many kills are needed to move up the ranks.

Seems to vary quite a lot.

Some say they got combat dangerous after 2,200 kills, I got mine at 2,600

Some say they reached trading Tycoon at 380 million, I got mine at 420 Million.

It doesn't appear to have a fixed system in place to give you an exact answer.

It's a bit of a black box I'm afraid and we're all still trying to fill in the blanks. There are no hard and fast rules but a lot of factors are taken into account, some reach a rank threshold before others and yet their stats are lower, so for example I could kill 200 NPCs, claim 400,000CR in bounties and reach Expert whereas you've killed 400 NPCs, claimed 400,000CR in bounties and are still ranked lower. Elite takes into account the rank of the other ship NPC/ CMDR for example and we don't know the exact weighting applied.

So in short: nobody knows, it's not arbitrary.

Combat rating seems to depend on the type of target and skill of opponent too. Some have also said that kills in Conflict Zones rank you up more quickly.

Unfortunately nobody knows (apart from the Devs) the mechanics or maths involved in promotion. Just keep plugging away.

it depends on the level of your oponents. Quite a lot!


Sams got dangerous at 2600 bounties I assume. Not kills. One kill can net you multiple bounties if using KWS. And kills of oponents without bounties still count towards rank up. So number of kills is an unknown unless you never use a KWS. Or never kill non-wanted oponents. Even in self-defense.

I got dangerous at 4200 bounties and 135 combat bonds.

Amount of kills and quality of kills.

If you kill a lot of harmless then you need more kills to rank up, If you kill a lot of elite then you need less kills to rank up.

The minimum number of Bounties/Combat bond kills needed to reach Elite is in the ballpark of 8,000.
Divide that number by 2 for each lower rank.

Take in consideration your rank vs rank of your opponent. If you are Competent - you will get no progression by killing Harmless opponents.

What about kills in anarchy systems ?

Since there is no law, no crime is committed when you're being attacked and subsequently no bounty is awarded when you kill your opponent. But is the kill counted towards your rank ?

I only see bounty-kills in my status panel.

If you don't use a Kill Warrant Scanner to verify they have outstanding bounties before killing them, then I'm pretty sure they don't count towards combat ranking.

Yes, a KWS would (possibly) get me some bounty, but I still killed a Master NPC in a Viper, even though I didn't get any money for it. It should still be counted towards your combat ranking.

any kill counts for the rank up. But not any kill gets displayed somewhere in the form of a counter!

Why does the game not support an achievement indicator like other games. Especially for the reputation. It's like walking in a dark space with no info and no idea when you will upgrade.

Not only that it's annoying, it's also demotivating. Battlefield e.g. gives you every detail and you know exactly when you upgrade. This is so MOTIVATING... Just 5 more kills, ok, I'll do it right now... etc. etc.
